Development Update - 04.05.2025
🕑 Added 2025-05-04 21:03:20 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I haven’t mentioned this before, but for about a year now, I’ve been slowly renovating an old apartment. It hadn’t seen any serious updates since the early 80s — so I’m talking full-on overhaul: new electrical and plumbing systems, tearing down and rebuilding walls, the whole shebang. Nearly every wall was crooked, and nothing in this place is quite level or straight, but I’m super happy (and honestly a bit relieved) that it’s finally done!
One of the reasons the renovation took so long was because most of my free time was devoted to Race of Life, especially finishing Episode 3.2 and the Steam release. Only after all that dust settled (pun intended), I was able to gather the energy to really push through and wrap up the apartment.
What I didn’t expect was how much time the move itself would take. I thought we’d get everything done over a weekend — classic mistake — but it ended up taking an entire week. And then we brought our three cats over… which turned out to be a whole new level of chaos. They were so stressed it took us three more days just to calm them down and help them adjust to the new space.
I finally managed to hook my computer back up on Friday — and now here I am, writing you this little dev update!
Right before the move, I had started working on the “spicier” part of the Veronica scene, which is going to feature dozens of animations. I’ve been focusing a lot on animation recently, and in this episode, they’ll be a bit longer and — hopefully — noticeably smoother as I'm still learning new animation techniques.
I also did some deep dive research and figured out a way to convert the animations so that even though they’re longer, they actually take up less space, while looking even better than before. So this update will be kind to your hard drives, but still packed with content. 😄
I’m currently catching up to Joshua, and I hope to move on to another equally “interesting” scene with a different character later this month.
Few words from Joshua:
Episode 4 is coming along. I've got the broad strokes for every scene, now it' just a matter of adding depth and choices to the scenes.
I hope everyone that observes Easter had a good holiday. Unfortunately, mine was spent in a dentist's chair after splitting one of my molars when biting down on a piece of bone that had made it's way into a home made sausage. Tooth pain is no joke, so it baffles my why the first thing a dentist does when you have an emergency appointment with them is notice a split tooth, say "Does this hurt?" and then plunge a metal prong into the open crack.
I swear, I have never wanted to grab a handful of scrotum and twist quite as badly as I did in that moment. Not a jury in the land would convict me.
Still, I had the tooth capped and will be getting an implant so I can continue to enjoy the occasional steak. If you hear anything about a dentist being discovered with dental implements impaled in his rectum... well hopefully one of you is willing to provide an alibi.
Stay tuned!

Wow! Just finished the Steam version and now I see that you're up to...what...Act 3? Any idea when the next Act of the story will be available on Steam? I'm not sure I want to endure any more Coop. I ditched clingy Veronica early on, had no interest in an Act II with the wife, avoided Maggie and her insecurities that play on an endless loop, lost interest in the Teutonic Ice Queen, and was tired of the ying/yang that is Jasmine. Yet I know I will not be able to resist buying the next Steam version. 😂 Seriously, it's an extremely well-written and well-executed AVN. It's as close to AAA as this genre comes. A bit too true to life for my taste. But that's a ME issue and a tribute to its quality. Plus I see you're adding erotic vocalizations and sounds. It's usually handled POORLY, which is why most AVNs avoid it. I recall one game where penetration sex sounded like a plunger attacking a clogged toilet. But given how well you've handled everything else, I have high hopes that you'll do so with sound. If so you'll be the very first to do it well. Many thanks for developing a marvelous game in a neglected genre. 👍👍👍 The game reminds me of the lyrics of an old Eagles song... Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road tryna loosen my load I've got seven women on my mind Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me One says she's a friend of mine Summarizes it pretty well I think 😉

Thanks for the update. Congrats on the apartment. Joshua: I consider dentist (most of them) sadists and I'm not even joking. When other doctors see an open wound they don't just poke it with medical tools. Neurologist wouldn't poke your nerve endings without anesthesia and somehow dentist do that with nerve endings in your mouth. Sometimes something has to be done without painkillers but there are procedures and somehow dentists don't fallow them (at he end of the day dentists are not real doctors) they could just ask about the pain like other doctors do. BTW: interesting render

Nice on the renovating and the move, Jachu! I thought the animations had been stellar. Very amazing and fluid 👍🏻. My HD thanks ya 😉. I had two amazing back-to-back Sundays with Easter and BDay... and an amazing week so far (so many AVN releases this ONE week: 11) "hehe 😁." I mean, yeah... I'm a little overwhelmed 😅, but I'll never say no to releases; that's the life of an AVN supporter when you support many 😁👍🏻. LIFE IS GREAT 😎! "Ouch, Joshua... my teeth hurt with yours 😅. Dentist: Sees cracked tooth... Does it hurt? *Poke* Joshua: "OUCH!!!" Yeah! What do you think? Doctor: Just checking. Just making sure it was an emergency. 😂 Oh boy, on the last part... you'll be justified 😅. Thanks for the update, guys! May the Force be with you. Have an amazing and beautiful week, everyone! Catch you all—ON the next one ✌🏻😉!
